LC YC Cheng Park Traditional Cache
SLOFolks: This one had a good run with 907 finds! But, there is too much muggle activity in the park and I've had to replace too many times. Thanks to those who visited. Look for a new one coming nearby (but not in this tiny park).

A small to celebrate San Luis Obipo's newest park. This area is muggle rich, so please use care in grabbing & replacing the cache. It is small, so bring your own pen.
February 2013: It appears the previous instance of this cache is gone. For try #3, I'm going back to the original cache location and type. Have fun! Please rehide exactly as you found it.
============================
One thing missing from this small park is a sign to explain its background. To help with that, here is a clip from a newspaper article published when the park opened. The following description is taken from an article in the San Luis Obispo Tribune on December 28, 2006:
"San Luis Obispo has a brand new Chinese heritage garden thanks to the efforts of Alice Loh, landscape architect and professor emeritus from Cal Poly, as well as hundreds of community volunteers.
Located at Santa Rosa and Marsh streets, formerly the site of an abandoned gas station, the garden is a tribute to the Chinese history of San Luis Obispo. Loh designed it in honor of her mother and father, for whom the garden, known as LC YC Cheng Park, is named.
The entrance to the park is an imposing gateway guarded by two stone lions. In Chinese, the gateway is known as paifang. The center of the park is dominated by an ornate pavilion (ting in Chinese), built over a pond and intended as a sheltered place where visitors can sit and, in inclement weather, listen to rain falling on the water.
Along the perimeter of the park are a series of benches, intermixed with camellias to provide color. The benches — made of concrete — feature a pattern that symbolizes the interplay between earth and heaven. "A geometric design of heaven and earth," Loh explained. Several pairs of plum trees are planted at the street at regular intervals, representing a passageway into the garden."
